Manufacturer Narrative

Internal reference number: (b)(4).H10: smith & nephew is submitting this report pursuant to the provisions of 21 c.F.R.Part 803.This report may be based upon information which smith & nephew has not been able to investigate or verify prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by fda, smith & nephew, or its employees, that the report constitutes an admission that the device, smith & nephew or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.

Event Description

It was reported that, after a thr surgery, the patient experienced a peri-prosthetic failure of a stryker brand acetabular cup.This was planned to be resolved via a revision surgery, on (b)(6) 2023, in which a contour reconstruction ring was going to be used to create a cage cup construct and salvage the joint.However, due to the nature of the remaining bone stock, a cont recn ring trl 56/52 lt would have been needed to verify if there would have been adequate bone to support; during set up for the revision, the device was not available, as this particular trial was not sent along with the implant set or was nowhere to be found.As such, the issue was resolved with a change in surgical technique (a girdlestone procedure was performed instead); without any delay.Patient's current health status is fine, but has no hip due to the girdlestone procedure; as such, movement is impaired to some unknown degree.Follow up is required but it was reported that the patient will be needing a special prosthesis, not available from s+n.All available information has been disclosed.If additional information should become available, a supplemental report will be submitted accordingly.
